Moisture Sensor Under-Reading
Sensor dry cycles end too soon and clothes are still damp.

Possible Causes
Coated moisture sensor bars (fabric softener residue), Poor contact between clothes and sensor due to small loads, Faulty moisture sensor circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug dryer before accessing internal wiring.
Steps:
- Clean sensor bars: Wipe the metal bars inside the drum with rubbing alcohol and a non-abrasive pad to remove residue.
- Adjust load size: Use medium to large loads in sensor cycles so clothes contact the bars.
- Test with timed dry: If timed dry works normally, the issue is likely with the sensor system; replace sensor bars or have the control checked if cleaning does not help.
